Podcast appearances and mentions of scott westerfield

This week, John Dorney joins us in northern Scotland to investigate the disappearance of the Ninth Legion — only to discover that there are things here even more terrible than the Roman army, things that can only be fought with trust and empathy and music. It's The Eaters of Light. Notes and links Crash (2004) starts with a voiceover by Don Cheadle, laying out the terms of the metaphorical link between car crashes and human interactions generally. It's not a very popular movie, not only because of its superficial approach to issues of race, but also because it won the 2005 Academy Award for Best Picture instead of Brokeback Mountain. Richard mentions American YA fiction writer Scott Westerfield, particularly the Uglies series with its teenage protagonist. He also mentions William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies, where a group of schoolchildren stranded without adults on a deserted island, quickly revert to savagery. Brian Vernel was born in 1990, so he was 26 or 27 when he played Lucius in this episode, and 32 when he played far-right extremist Curly in the first season of Slow Horses in 2022. Kar's speech about the depredations of the Roman Army is taken from the Agricola by Tacitus, a short biography of his father-in-law, chronicling, among other things his campaigns in northern Britain. Tacitus depicts the Caledonian leader Calgacus making the speech just before the Battle of Mount Graupius, in which his forces were defeated by the Romans. You can read the speech in translation here. This week's monster is based on very common depictions found in Pictish carvings of an animal called the Pictish Beast. Some depictions are found among the carvings seen in this episode. Tania Bell is a companion to the Eighth Doctor, first appearing in Big Finish's Stranded in 2020 — the first transgender companion to appear in Doctor Who. She is played by Rebecca Root. John has written five stories for Tania: her second story Wild Animals, as well as The Long Way Round, What Just Happened?, Best Year Ever and Flatpack (in which she meets Christopher Ecclston's Ninth Doctor). John writes for Michelle Gomez as Missy in Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated and in Too Many Masters.

Following his time in University, Melbourne native Garth Nix worked for the Australian government and was a soldier in the Australian army. But his time as a bookseller in a small independent book shop fueled his love of books which would ultimately result in his creation of The Old Kingdom, a six-part fantasy adventure series that sold millions of copies worldwide and was translated in more than 40 languages. First published in 1995, the first installment, Sabriel, introduces readers to a young girl named Sabriel who must take on a powerful foe to rescue her father in the Old Kingdom, a land where magical creatures run free and the dead don't always stay that way. A feminist milestone, Sabriel was one of the first fantasy books to present a female hero. Now, more than 25 years after the first novel, Garth Nix presents Terciel & Elinor, the long-awaited prequel which tells the exciting back-story of Sabriel's parents. Globally best-selling celebrity authors such as Cassandra Clare, Scott Westerfield, Holly Black, Alison Goodman, and Veronica Roth have mentioned The Old Kingdom series as an inspiration for their own work. Speak with Garth Nix to find out what served as his inspiration to create the unforgettable characters who have captured the imagination of millions of readers worldwide, and what they can expect from the new novel, Terciel & Elinor. Garth can further discuss his decision to introduce a female action hero, far before it was fashionable to do so, as well how the fantasy genre has changed since he first began writing The Old Kingdom series in light of properties such as Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings.
